WOW

So, we had our first performance last night for our stake musical and all I can say is WOW!. We nailed every number and the audience went wild. So many miracles happened to make this a wholesome family, missionary tool production. So many hundreds of prayers were answered. I had my own personal please answered yesterday when I lost my voice to overuse and allergies. I prayed all day, drank honey and lemon tea and right as the second song I was in started, I felt it come back and was able to play Miss Hannigan. We had a lady who had a major lead get food poisoning the day before and was very sick-she rocked last night. Another lead broke her foot on Monday-she painted her crutch black and got on that stage and sang her heart out. The list goes on.
My point is-God hears and answers prayers, he wants his children to have meaningful experiences and have culture in their lives. Music is a heart soother and healer, a joyful noise of the heart and our cast surely has been blessed by being part of something so huge and wonderful.
Just a note-160 cast members, hundreds of costumes, we can't even count the endless hours of practice, two stages and choir risers, amazing scenery and props. This has been an effort of love and sacrifice and I've been so blessed to be part of it.
My advice is-if you ever get the opportunity to do a stake or ward musical-jump in with both feet and have the time of your life. Also, you don't even have to sing, there's always something for everyone to do.
Happy weekend. Love, Vic
